Meme coin prices have exploded this month, fueled by growing anticipation for a “meme coin supercycle.”
Three of the top performers are Pepe, Neiro, and Popcat. Do they have more room for growth, or could new meme coins like Flockerz and Pepe Unchained be better investments?
Analyst Says the “Real Bull Run” to Occur In Q4 – Expect Big Gains For PEPE, NEIRO, Popcat
The recent uptick in bullish momentum has been long-awaited.
Experts believe that Q4 will be the period in which the “real bull run” starts.
This thesis has been in play for a long time. Crypto bull markets typically begin six months after Bitcoin halvings – the last occurred in March this year.
Moreover, Q4 has historically been a bullish quarter for crypto, per CoinGlass data.
The fun part of the bull market only lasts around 12 months…

In the 2017 bull run, the pump started in December 2016 and lasted 11 months.
The 2021 bull run started in October 2020 and lasted 13 months.
Both pumps started in Q4!
The real bull runs starts in Q4!

Adding firepower to this thesis, Bitcoin ETFs have begun seeing significant capital inflows, indicating that institutional players anticipate higher prices in the coming weeks.
Monster day for Bitcoin ETF inflows yesterday.

At over $555m, it's the largest daily inflow in months.

Fundamentally, the crypto market is in a rock-solid position for further growth. But what about Pepe, Neiro, and Popcat, specifically?
Starting with Pepe, analyst Max Schwartzman says the party is just starting. He suggests that “Pepe is getting ready to fly,” targeting a hefty $50 billion market cap for the leading The Boys Club meme coin.

Similarly, analyst TraderSZ is looking toward a parabolic breakout for NEIRO. He points to the $1.5 billion market cap target, over a 50% increase from its current valuation.

It’s the same tale for Popcat. Afgxbt notes that it recently broke a trendline resistance, forming a similar price structure to before its last leg higher.
Based on that, the analyst expects a rally toward $1.7 in the coming days.

However, as these meme coins show strength, it opens the floodgates for newer meme coins to book more substantial gains.
2 New Meme Coins That Could Explode Next
Due to the lesser liquidity required to move their prices, bullish market periods can result in significant gains for these lower market cap tokens.
Here are two that are showing high potential right now.
Flockerz
For those wanting to get in early on a meme coin that could shake the market, Flockerz is definitely worth a look.
It’s the first meme coin to create a Vote-to-Earn decentralized autonomous organization. This sounds complicated, but it just means that token holders will make decisions on the project’s future – and they’ll get paid for it.
This concept is simple, but it could change everything for meme coins.
While most are directed by centralized teams, Flockerz’s community is in complete control. It sets the pace in a sector where community is key.
$FLOCK holders can also stake their tokens to earn more rewards. Currently, Flockerz staking offers a 2,457% APY, but this will decrease over time.
While most meme coins offer zero utility, Flockerz holders have multiple ways to earn.
And currently, the project is undergoing a presale, having raised $700K so far.
Investors can buy $FLOCK today for $0.0057699, but this price will rise throughout the ICO.
Pepe Unchained
While Pepe Unchained has yet to launch on the open market, it has already established itself as a top meme coin.
It’s currently undergoing a presale, which has raised close to $20 million.
That’s a substantial sum of money – it’s even more than the Ethereum ICO raised in 2014.
But with 2025 expected to see a blowoff top in the “meme coin supercycle” – combined with Pepe Unchained’s innovative use case – its presale success is no surprise.
Pepe Unchained is building an Ethereum layer 2 blockchain dedicated solely to meme coins. It will be 100x faster and far cheaper than Ethereum. Key features will include staking, a block explorer, a DEX, and an Ethereum bridge.
It aims to become Ethereum’s home for meme coins. And with almost $20 million raised, it clearly has the support of investors.
The Pepe Unchained presale price is $0.00999, but this will rise in one day.
